U.S. spot crypto ETFs recorded $415.47 million in net outflows for Week 8 (Feb 16–22, 2026), marking one of the largest weekly withdrawals in recent months.

Total assets under management now sit around $98 billion.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead the Outflows

  • Bitcoin ETFs: -$315.86 million – 4,680 BTC sold (roughly 12 days of mined supply)
  • Ethereum ETFs: -$123.37 million – 63,218 ETH sold

The scale of the selling highlights sustained institutional pressure on the two largest crypto assets.

Breakdown by Major Issuers

  • BlackRock: Sold 4,497 BTC and 52,151 ETH
  • Fidelity: Sold 290 BTC and 4,127 ETH
  • Grayscale: Bought 400 BTC but sold 3,756 ETH

Bitcoin saw broad distribution across major issuers, while Ethereum experienced consistent outflows across products.

Altcoin ETFs Show Select Inflows

Despite the large-cap pressure, several altcoin ETFs posted positive flows:

  • Solana: +$14.31 million
  • Avalanche: +$4.26 million
  • Chainlink: +$2.40 million
  • XRP: +$1.84 million
  • HBAR: +$949K

Dogecoin and Litecoin ETFs recorded flat flows.

Market Context

The combined selling in BTC and ETH ETFs suggests continued institutional repositioning amid broader volatility.

Notably, 4,680 BTC sold in one week equates to nearly two weeks of new supply from miners, underscoring how ETF flows can materially impact spot market liquidity.

For now, large-cap crypto ETFs remain under pressure, while selective capital rotates into alternative layer-1 and infrastructure exposures.

Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders

Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders

The post Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins 20 September 2025 | 04:17 Crypto traders are facing a steady drip of new supply this month, as project teams and early backers release fresh tokens into circulation. What looks like small percentages on paper is building into meaningful selling pressure across multiple ecosystems. Unlocks Becoming a Market Theme According to an analytics tracker, the past week alone saw millions of dollars’ worth of new coins enter the market from projects such as AltLayer, Blast, Avail, Venom, and Parti. AltLayer added roughly $3.5 million in tokens, while Blast introduced more than $2.3 million. In both cases, the amount represented less than 3% of circulating supply — yet the inflows still weighed heavily on trading sentiment. More Supply Ahead The trend is far from over. Another round of unlocks is scheduled for the week of September 22–28, with AltLayer once again leading the pack. By the time its next batch goes live, over 42% of its total supply will have been released. Other names, including KARRAT, XMW, and Yield Guild Games (YGG), will also add to the flow with their own token distributions. Unlocks matter because they create a constant overhang. Even if each release looks minor, stacked together week after week, they erode the balance between supply and demand. AltLayer’s back-to-back schedule makes this clear: the market isn’t just dealing with isolated events but with a pipeline of tokens waiting to be sold. Bigger Picture For traders, that means strategy has to adjust. Pricing these unlocks into positions becomes just as important as monitoring macro conditions or ETF inflows. While unlocks don’t guarantee downward pressure, the compounding effect is already a defining feature of September’s market — one that could shape trading dynamics well into the fourth quarter.
